Well, if this happens it will not be the fault of the Conservative base that put the GOP over the top and into power in the first place. It will clearly be the fault of those who fractured the party by aligning sharply with the left.

Therein lies our difference and the entire point of my conversation with you. As for my you use of "you", it came only after "you" used it to infer that I am somehow laking in conservative credentials as you claim to possess.

This is a common retort to win a argument by demeaning the opponent. It is very common on this site. I picked up on it early and called you on it. Just accept that you used the device and let it go. It does not add anything to the debate and the fact we are on differing sides on the very definition of conservatism should be obvious by now. The concept that there is some pure form of conservative ideology that must be forced on all members is new to the party politic and is at the root of what will eventually destroy the majority we currently enjoy.

It's like saying a Christian is not Christian enough to be a church member. A really stupid and damaging concept indeed, and one that has damaged more Churches in the past 2000 years then there are beans in Texas.
